I used to be a custom picture framer and I have some advice about cleaning mirrors. Do NOT spray the cleaner directly on the mirror. Spray it on the cleaning cloth. When you spray it directly on the mirror it can run down into the frame. That will cause the silver on the mirror to erode and ruin it.

Much quicker and less expensive method - substitute cleanser ( Ajax, comet ) put it around the sides as the laundry detergent was spread. Take your toilet brush and do exactly as she do BUT you do NOT have to wait 15 minutes…. Or even 2 minutes. Does exactly the same job as her method but for less money and less time!

That was very light cleaning for a germaphobe! I'm pretty much the opposite of a germaphobe, and I clean more intensely than that!!!

I do the exact same thing, only with liquid laundry detergent and bleach.. brush that all along the sides of the bowl, let it sit for 15-20, scrub it down.. perfectly cleaned toilet bowel !

I love using grout renew for my tile grout. Looks white and brand new once painted on.

Short version: use powdered laundry detergent to scrub your toilet.

That was some of the best advice I think i have ever seen - after 2 years as a Public Area cleaner - you have finally simplified my household toilet cleaning tasks! 😇

This is terrific. I've watched TONS of videos with people applying bicarb of soda, lemon juice and other perfectly ineffective products. The closest I got was purchasing Barkeeper's Friend, which is very toxic and needs scrubbing like hell to have any effect. And it's expensive. So when I viewed this video I thought .. "Oh yeah ... here we go again..". But it actually WORKS. Unbelievable. I used some Oxyclean I already had in the house (Oxyclean is fantastic at ruining your clothes) .. but I think it has enzymes in it, so I figured, nothing to lose. Wow. Just did a brilliant job. Thanks so much for saving me a lot of money, time and EFFORT. I HATE cleaning - particularly toilets, but makes it so easy I might be tempted to clean them once a year - even if they don't need it.

Fill the enclosed container with a disinfectant cleaning solution and leave it to sit in it. Everytime you go to use your brush you just switch the cleaning solution out. It doesn't even have to be completely full, just enough to immerse the head of the brush into the liquid!!! Just a suggestion!!!

That would be the case with the old style toilets. The newer ones do not splash water, and in fact just swirl the water all the way from the top.

If you have a septic tank it would not be such a great idea . Any thing that suds like laundry detergent causes a crust on top water in septic causing the septic not to drain properly. Cost about 400.00 to get a service ocean out septic. Just thought might want to know this .

If you like the tile, but not the grout, call Grout Doctor if they are in your area. They will thoroughly clean the floor, paint, (whatever color you choose) and seal the grout. It turns out very nice.
